TIE SOUTH CAROLINA EXODUS.

THE TRIBUNE published a telegram from
Columbia South Carolina, yesterday which
possibly furnishes food for serious reflection.
Two weeks ago large party OF colored people
left South Carolina for the West. Indeed. so
many left that several large farms il is stated,
were left without any laborcrs. Preparations
were made for a second party to follow tho
first, hut it was frustrated at least for the
present by an angry uprising against The emf
grant agent, WHO was chief manager Of the
exodus.
The immediate cause OF this change Of base
on the part of the colorcd people from South
Carolina is not stated III the di-patch II may
be mere matter Of dollars and cents thnt in
duccs them 20 turn their backs upon a sunny
section which agrees with them physically. and
TO seek for employment in the less genial
climate of the West. Still South Carolina
would not seem 10 be suffering from over
production Of colorcd people else why was
not the emigrant agent welcomed instead OF
being threatened with violcncc7 Until one
is placed in possession Of fuller particulars it
will be impossible to understand tie significance
of the exodus. But pending the increased light.
it may lie remarked that it would not he strange
if it turns ont that the negroes were leaving
South Carolina because they had become con-
v,nced that they could not have their rights
within that Bourbon State. Why should
negroes care 10 remain there when the Leading
organ of South Carolina insists that both
sides were right the side that secured the
slaves their freedom and the side which Stub
Dornly resisted emancipation
Why should negroes care TO remain there
when the same organ squarcly denies the proposi
ton maintained by General Armstrong. that real
Democracy is on the road TO destruction he
cause "the negro majority are prevented from
ruling" 1t is the American doctrine that
any political organization from the nature of
our institutions must necessarily be on the
road TO destruction if it prevents a majority
from exercising tic right of a majority. the
right 10 rule "1hc News and Courier" docs
rot hold to this cardinal Republican doctrine.
On tho contrary. il argues that it is "pIainly to
The interests of both tie white and the colorcd
people that the white minority should rule at
least until the black voters are qualified for the
right and proper discharge of the duties of
citizenship" CONSUMING this assertion in the
light OF history it means that the South Caro-
lima colorcd people must be kept under until
they vote the Democratic ticket.
1t may be, as we have said, that the present
exodus has no politics about it. But it is clear
that good reasons exist apart from the familiar
desire TO 90 West and grow up with the
country why intelligent South Carolina colored

found only one man thus far whom he wants

Colonel Morrison is not, of all the men named
the one most likely TO prove useful member

posts of honor and large power, practically bet

hard to fiji. The Commissioners arc to receive

assistants and subordinatcs, fixing their salaries

that the President finds difficulty

bc removed at any time by the President, not
only for malfcasancc in Office, but for neglect

upon the President to say what 1Dsuiciency
means.
Behind these remains the chief OF all diff

ton. Then millions will blame the Commits
sion, il in all reasonable things and in many
unreasonable things it does not control tho
companies. redress wrongs and stop abuses.
Yet the Commission will not have power to
touch by far the greater part of the evils OF
which complaint is made. On the other hand,
the Commission will be expected by all con-
sentative citizens practical business men, and
honest investors, to respect and defend their
rights against mistaken public sentiment. Yet
it will have no power to do that ; all it can do
in that direction is to refrain from issuing I'M
reasonable or unjust recommendations. or from
instituting improper suits. In this respect the
Commission will not be entirely free. 1t Is
mart of the Federal Administration. The Pres
ident will naturally desire to have suits brought
where there is serious public complaint In
order to test the question whether the act
supplies remedy. Tho Commissioners may
be strongly pressed if not virtually directed,
to bring suits for reasons Of public policy which
the Commissioners themselves do not really
believe ought to be brought.

which men would ne more sure 10 ecI ccii-

member is pretty sure to terminate his exist
ence as a politician. his influence with public
opinion. and 10 close against himself ali doors
to preferment hereafter, even though he serve
only a single year. How many men of stand
ing and character will consent to take upon
themselves such duties An invitation to &C
ccpt place on the Commission is, in fact,
little better than request to commit political
suicide.

CIVIL SERVICE METHODS IN BROOKLYN.

| The statements made by the secretary OF
the Brooklyn Civil Service Commission before
the committee of which Assembyman Bacon
| is chairman furnish convincing proof that the
| Civil Service law is not only evaded and
strained to such an extent as to make 1t OF no
account but that it has been directly and per-
sistcntly broken by the Commissioners put in
authority by Mayor Whitney. The process of
selection from the eligible lists has been so
worked as to secure the choice Of none but
Democrats. The Endorsement of powerful
Democratic politicians has been the surcst way
of getting positions. Inadequate notices Of
examinations have been the rule. The pro-
vision that the names Of appolntecs must DO
published. together with the men vouching for
them. has boon ignored. 1t is impossible that
the Commissioners can have been ignorant Of
these things. Even il they were, ignorance is
10 excuse. II was their hnSincSs TO see that
the law was inn artially carried out. Are they
not to he held to strict accountability 2 Have
they not plainly been guilty OF neglect Of duty 7
And are they 10 escape punishment
Take the matter Of non publication Of ap-
poIntccS and tcir hackers" Secretary Evan
cclidcs says that this was an "omssion
which has only recently been discovered" This
is merely trumpcd-up excuse. Tic fact is
that shortly after the present Commission was
appointed I'm February. 1SS6) efforts were
made TO get the Sac Commission To modify
the Civil Service regulations. and 1t was cX-
,ly asked that the rule as to publication be
abolished. But about the oh or ION Of
January, this year. according TO the present
testimony, the discovery" was made that
there was such regulation and that it had
been wholly neglected. The discovery took
place after IT Lccamc evident that there was to
